Who can enter France currently?

See here for rules for each country by category.

Entry forms

You may be asked to fill two forms before boarding for France

  • The EU-PLF form is for travellers arriving on the territory of a European Union Member State. While rules to fill the form may vary between EU countries, it is compulsory for travellers who wish to enter France.
  • The Eos electronic form is for travellers coming from ‘orange’ countries and territories.

If you are vaccinated:

To enter French territory, proof of a completed vaccination schedule is sufficient, no matter whether you come from a green or an orange country.

  • Since 12th February 2022, travelers vaccinated within the meaning of European regulations, no more tests are required on departure. Proof of a complete vaccination schedule becomes sufficient to arrive in France, regardless of the country of origin, as was the case before the distribution of the Omicron variant.

The measures applicable to vaccinated adults also apply to any minors accompanying them, whether they are vaccinated or not. You can therefore travel with your underage children, whether they are vaccinated or not, and they will not need to self-isolate. Unvaccinated children aged 12 and over will need to present a negative test result.

Visit this page for information concerning the vaccination pass (for over 16s) and the Covid certificate (for 12-15yr olds) for non-European visitors and students.

If you are not vaccinated and you arrive from a green country:

For countries on the green list please follow this link

For details of the entry rules for green countries please follow this link

  • Unvaccinated travellers are still required to present a negative test result to enter France, but the measures upon arrival (test, isolation) have been lifted when they arrive from a “green” country where there is limited circulation of the virus.

For full details please follow this link.

If you are not vaccinated and you arrive from an orange country:

For details of the entry rules for orange countries please follow this link

  • When unvaccinated travellers arrive from a country on the “orange” list, they must continue to present a compelling reason to justify the need to come to metropolitan France and may still have to take a random test upon arrival. Travellers who test positive must self-isolate, in accordance with the recommendations of the public health insurance authority.

“Red” countries:

There are currently no countries on the red list.

Measures in France:

Since 14 March 2022, the “vaccine pass” has been lifted in France in all areas where it was previously required (cultural and leisure venues, commercial catering, professional trade shows, etc.)

The “Travel” certificate is still required at borders.

The “Activities” certificate is still required in healthcare establishments, retirement homes and establishments for vulnerable and disabled persons.
